Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, significantly more potent than morphine, primarily used for pain management, especially in severe or chronic conditions. It's prescribed in forms like patches, lozenges, and injections. Due to its high potency, fentanyl carries a significant risk of addiction and overdose, even in small quantities. It's also illicitly manufactured and mixed with other drugs, increasing the risk of accidental overdoses....
Description
Testing for fentanyl is crucial for patients prescribed the drug for pain management, to ensure compliance and detect potential abuse. It’s also important in addiction treatment centers, for workplace drug testing in safety-sensitive jobs, and in legal settings like DUI cases. Emergency medical personnel may also test for fentanyl in cases of suspected overdose or when treating unknown substance intoxication.
Fentanyl can be detected in urine for up to 3 days after use, in blood for up to 48 hours, and in saliva for up to 1-3 days. In hair follicle tests, fentanyl can be detected for months after use. These timeframes can vary based on individual metabolism, frequency of use, and the amount used.
For most accurate results, GetTested’s fentanyl test should ideally be taken within up to 3 days after the last use.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
